Poland Urges NATO to Accelerate Eastern Flank Drone Defense

Poland Urges NATO to Accelerate Eastern Flank Drone Defense

Poland's defense minister said NATO needs to work faster to protect its eastern border from drones.

This comes after Romania had to send fighter jets to deal with drones entering its airspace.

The minister mentioned that eight countries have already offered help, but more needs to be done quickly.

If the drone incursions are confirmed, it shows the need for stronger defenses.

The minister discussed this with France's defense minister after the incident.

Romania described the drone incursion as a Russian provocation and scrambled fighter jets to intercept it.

The drone penetrated deeper into Romanian airspace than ever before, and fragments of the drone were recovered without an explosive charge.

The US will deploy a new capability to shoot down drones in Romania.
